“But, why are you three wearing belts for?” puzzled Joe asking “nothing of these wears are allowed in schools right?”
He was growing curious about those belts around these student’s necks. Why were they wearing them?
“It’s from the WIC, don’t you know sir?” replied the boy.
“WIC?!” surprised Joe. It sounded familiar, upon recalling Mister Sevin’s words: Join the WIC. Not to mention, even the file he carried within his coat had the words WIC written on its cover.
Could it be that the same company?
Is that even these students are part of it?
Joe got drown in sea by just the thoughts of joining the puzzles in his brain. He wasn’t ready to believe that these three students were also part of it!
“What are you doing? Said the pink haired girl pushing the boy back as all three stopped behind and Joe paused his paces after few steps forward. He turned back at them when the red haired girl scolded,
“Are you crazy? Who would believe us? He doesn’t even know anything about the company and you started advertising it to him”
“Yeah!” protested the other girl, adding her words that can’t you see the outlook of this gentle man. He seem respected and noble type, how do you think he would believe on something that half people knows of the reality!
“Hold your tongue” both scolded.
“Okay! Okay!” calmed the boy the two eager girl and stepped back convincing them that he won’t do it again, ”But,……” he leered stepping forward at them and whispered.
The moment Joe turned to them, all the three divided away and smiled like obedient little children. Everything got recorded in Joe’s head, their actions, and their speech and on top of all their whispers, He had it all unfortunately he had to keep his mouth shut. He didn’t want them to know that he also was a part of something that these three were hiding from him.
Trust was abandoned from the atmosphere. Each one was ready to fall under, over on each other, like preys of their own demises. The worst part was pretending to this. The three knew what should be done and where to be done.
However, Joe was blank headed. He didn’t have a single knowledge of what to do or how to perform his duty on top of it plus he didn’t know what this company called WIC was in real.
An imagination or reality to believe your life in when you aren’t acknowledge much it is better the stay silent them talking like fools.
This was the statement that ran in this lad’s head. He veered to them questioning,
“What happened? Is everything alright?”
“Yes, don’t worry, sir” replied the boy and all gathered up at a spot,
“Shall we walk on?” paced on the gentleman. The four people paced along the hallway. It was light dark but dim cause some of the classrooms in the right were opening their doors to let the soft moon light cut into the harsh darkness. By its help they could carry on their way.
“May I ask you three students something?” asked Joe as three of the students gazed at him allowing him to speak, “What are your names? We just met up without any introduction? Will you tell me?” his gentle voice cheered the students with encouragement enchanting them that this lad was really friendly with no harms or threats to them.
“My name’s Gorgon” introduced the boy stamping his palm on his chest. Joe smiled presenting his hand for sake saying
“Nice to meet you” both met their hands. The two girls smiled. The pink haired girl introduced herself as Vonika and the red haired girl called herself “Lila”
“Nice to meet you all” nodded the top hat boy. Vonika said, “You seem very gentle, sir. From your outfit, dressing, actions and speech, you must be part of a very big company right”. Her voice gave the boy a bad shock in his heart that he was about to faint but he caught up himself saying inwards,
“No, don’t fell. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe what I just heard……” he hid this inside himself and gulped his throat saying calm down. Good thing, the three didn’t notice this.
“So, can you tell us your name?” she asked.
“It’s Joe. Call me Joe Aniston”.
“Wow! Your name is just like yourselves its good to meet you, sir”
“Thank you” nodded the youth lad in serious.
By the gentle manners of Joe, the three lined up with questions for him.
Gorgon asked “sir, I think you are the Chief Guest today in our school right?” the boy remained silent, “Tell why was you here?”
“Yes, we wish to know” added the two girls.
The boy remained silent at this. He couldn’t tell them that he was also a student like them here. He was at the farewell of this school day when everything turned dark at one night.
How would he explain them this? It won’t make any sense! It could be dangerous. They may not believe. If he DID reply them, they would kick him and push him away; insulting him that he’s a joke. Especially his clothes, they would doubt him why a high school student from the fourth floor wearing this? Which means it will lead to only one way, he’s from the WIC too!
The tragically thing, here was inside this building, one was hunting the other and all represents under one place. It was risky. To reply them he added his contested, “why don’t you three answer me this question, what were you three doing back there in the end of the classroom at late night? Weren’t you three supposed to be at home?” the three of them turned dumb by this.
Their moods went off and they couldn’t open their lips as it was shut tight.
Gorgon caught up his guts answering “well we here in the in the classroom completing our home works and assignments. We got late, just planned on leaving when suddenly, loud horrible sounds shook the ground vibrating the roofs and we got stuck here”.
“We were scared” added Vonika as her fist tightened.
“We hid there in hope of some help” said Lila terrified holding herself.
On the other hand, Joe remained silent after hearing this with just one sentence in his head about this,
“They are lying openly to me”.
